The only thing that let the tour down was it was supposed to a private tour which I had booked for my husbands birthday but unfortunately due to another tour guide going sick we had to share with another couple, this was not really a problem however the price for the tour was quite expensive and really we should of at least had been offered a partial refund”
Half-day quad bike adventure in Malta’s Mellieħa. Transfers, helmets, insurance, sea views, and a seasonal swim stop included.
“The quads were very modern and in great condition. The tour itself allows you to explore the island and enjoy the stunning views. You really stop everywhere "for the gram" and they let you take cool pictures and help you too to take pictures. A bit shame that in every stop there was absolutely no guidance or explanation about the views or some historical background. For adrenaline seeker it's a perfect ride.”
